@isazi I’m jealous!

@ADidier I believe Run gets more updates than the other watches

Q1/2026 New Feature Wrap-up with Janne Kallio
-
@pavel.samokha just to take into account that new maps in watch looks good and i think there is no problem with readability in my opinion compared to suunto app.
-
This update is great!
Some insights :-
I particularly like the Smart Autozoom Turns, it would just be even better if the zoom could also appear when you are not displaying the map.
-
It would be great to be able to display the average pace on the map.
BTW, happy with this update! Thank you

I haven’t had a chance to test the new software in the mountains yet, but I don’t like the 40m distance, which will display an “off-route” message and will likely cause Climb Guidance to stop working.
In my opinion, this distance is definitely too short for more rugged terrain or, for example, in winter, when it’s not always safe to stick to the trail (avalanches).
The new off-route detection has no fixed distance anymore.
It is dynamic adjusting to your current speed and direction.I did a quick test, and it’s even worse than I thought. After 40m, as expected, I got an “Off route” message.
But what surprised me was that, according to the watch, I had to get within 20m to be back on route. So even when you’re just 21m from the theoretically planned route, you don’t have tools like Climb Guidance, ETA, etc. That’s my first disappointment with the new software. -
@maszop as the GNSS positioning usally has a higher accuracy as 5m or so, it makes sense to be on the route to use the route features.
In some places, being 20m next to the route would mean being dead… -
Amazing update! Thanks Suunto.
I tried the Broadcast HR this morning, and it worked great! However, it looks like I need to re-enable it every time I start an activity. For some reason the setting does not persist unlike other settings in Exercise Options.
Is this a bug, or am working as intended? Or I am just missing something.

In some places, being 20m next to the route would mean being dead…I’m talking about places where there’s no trail, or where following the trail isn’t desirable for various reasons. When I’m in unfamiliar terrain, I create this type of basic route based on the map.
So according to Suunto’s new logic, am I expected to stick to this route religiously?
That’s absurd. -
@maszop Sure, if following a route in an “off trail” terrain, it would be useful to have an option to disable off route alerts. Although I don’t know how to still maintain climb guidance in that scenario, if at all possible.

That’s how it’s worked so far. The route goes uphill, and depending on local conditions, the actual path will be within a few dozen meters of the planned ‘theoretical’ route. The statistics shouldn’t differ by more than the watch’s accuracy.

Thanks, please keep me updated. My Suunto Race 2 is currently in the drawer and will stay there until the resources issues have been fixed.

Custom fields option on maps and guidance
Is one of the options distance to next turn? Because in custom sport profile builder in Suunto App I see only distance to end/ distance to next waypoint.
I have no way to test it with my Vertical 1 but if there’s distance to next turn, I’d be tempted to upgrade
